Replies: 43 Where could this be then... Views: 2,112 Posted By susie123 Re: Where could this be then... One of the problems of trying to google anything to do with the church in Accy is the fact that there a place called Church right next door which keeps skewing the search results... I guess those...

Replies: 43 Where could this be then... Views: 2,112 Posted By susie123 Re: Where could this be then... I'm almost certain those are drainpipes - you can see a small pipe leading in to the RH one from the smaller window, probably the bathroom, of the RH half of the building. The equivalent window on...

Replies: 43 Where could this be then... Views: 2,112 Posted By susie123 Re: Where could this be then... Definitely houses I would say. Look at the drainpipes on the first pair of houses, behind the child. They are coming out of a bathroom on the first floor (the smaller window) into the soil pipe...

Replies: 43 Where could this be then... Views: 2,112 Posted By susie123 Re: Where could this be then... Was looking at the 1909 Accy map earlier and noticed a row of houses at the Blackburn Road end of Ellison's Tenement which all had back additions However they were all separate not joined in pairs...

Replies: 43 Where could this be then... Views: 2,112 Posted By susie123 Re: Where could this be then... Yes that's right! I believe back addition is the technical term for it, at least down south where I learned my architectural jargon when I worked for a housing association.

Replies: 43 Where could this be then... Views: 2,112 Posted By susie123 Re: Where could this be then... Phil your best bet for info might be in the Observer of the time. That is where Atarah nailed the info about the Bethel walking day and opening of the church.

Replies: 43 Where could this be then... Views: 2,112 Posted By susie123 Re: Where could this be then... Steve isn't the wall with no windows the side of a back addition, not unusual for that not to have windows. And yes there is washing there - Phil mentioned it a few posts back. Still no wiser though.

Replies: 43 Where could this be then... Views: 2,112 Posted By susie123 Re: Where could this be then... Phil, I have a book with an aerial photo of that area from about 1930. You can see the Corporation bus garages but the houses round about don't look like the ones in your photo. I saw a pic of a...

If you look at your pic the big wheels are on the right so that is is the back, and the small wheels, you can just see one underneath, are at the left which would be the front. Agree the windows seem...

Replies: 43 Where could this be then... Views: 2,112 Posted By susie123 Re: Where could this be then... Yes Phil, looking at the photo again the curved bit does look like the entranceto the wagon. The original Hippodrome was a wooden building and was built in 1903 on the site of Ohmy's circus. It ...

Replies: 43 Where could this be then... Views: 2,112 Posted By susie123 Re: Where could this be then... Datewise I agree with Gary. The buildings in the left background look like the back additions of rather substantial terraced houses. On the far left, small sheds, possibly allotments. In the...
